ZK-POC ( Zero knowledge Proof of Location)

  • Securing DNS resolution through zero-knowledge geometry - where privacy meets proximity

  • Leveraging Telemetry tools in web2 with tokenized domains and verifying them using zkproofs

Problem Statement

  • Traditional DNS resolution systems lack privacy guarantees and geographical awareness, exposing users to potential security vulnerabilities and inefficient routing. Current systems fail to provide verifiable proof of domain ownership while maintaining location privacy, limiting the potential for secure, geography-aware name resolution.
  • Annually DNS companies loose on an average of 5 billion$ to DNS attacks
  • One DNS attack on an average results in 924k$ loss
  • DNS attack results in loss of audience, bad UX and data breaches and phishing
  • 68% of the total DNS attacks is DNS Amplification attack which results in Denial of service

Brief Overview

ZkResolution is a revolutionary protocol that combines zero-knowledge proofs with Proof of Internet Geometry to create a secure, privacy-preserving DNS resolution system. It implements a novel token-based domain ownership mechanism with cross-chain compatibility between EVM and Cosmos ecosystems.

Technical Description

The protocol implements a multi-layered architecture:

  • Zero-Knowledge Layer: Utilizes ZK proofs for location verification without revealing actual coordinates
  • Nexus Layer: Off-chain verification system for proof validation and delay measurements
  • Token Layer: Implements SBT-based domain ownership with staking mechanisms
  • Cross-Chain Bridge: Facilitates IBC transfers between EVM and Cosmos chains using Zkproofs and IBC
  • Monitoring of IBC

Working Mechanism

  • Domain Registration: Domain owners stake tokens as collateral Mint Soul Bound Tokens with embedded location parameters Define delay time thresholds for verification

  • Resolution Process: Users generate ZK proofs of their location Nexus layer verifies proofs and performs delay measurements DNS resolution occurs only when both location and delay criteria are met

  • Cross-Chain Operations: SBT burning on EVM chain ZK proof generation for transfer verification IBC protocol handling for cross-chain token movement

Business Innovation

  • Market Differentiation: First-to-market ZK-based DNS resolution system Novel implementation of Proof of Internet Geometry Cross-chain compatibility opening new market segments

  • Revenue Streams: Domain registration fees Staking rewards Cross-chain transfer fees B2B SaaS model for DNS companies Domain exchange marketplace with secure proof of Ownership

  • Competitive Advantages: Enhanced privacy features Geographic optimization Cross-chain capabilities Stake-based security model
